Whilst taking a family member to hospital the other day, I had a good hour or so to fill, so I decided to have a wander. I have often been to Poole and written about it, but this time I thought I’d try a different patch. The Hunger Hill area is off the beaten walkingContinue reading “35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea”

The Source of the Winterborne
For those of you who have been following this little journey. I used my roll of Kodak Ektachrome E100 in my Canon EOS30 with the 40mm STM attached….

Kodak E100 Goes Winterborne Pt2
Last week I wrote about how I used my roll of “new” Ektachrome, tracing the route of the little river Winterborne. You can read that first post here. This post picks up the story as we arrive in the next village – Winterborne Kingston. At the time I arrived at the church, we were atContinue reading “Kodak E100 Goes Winterborne Pt2”
Kodak E100 goes Winterborne
The Film and Camera: Having purchased a roll of Kodaks “new” Ektachrome E100, it sat in my film cupboard waiting for use. A month or so ago it finally got used up. It took much longer to get processed in the E6 chemistry than it normally takes the lab to dev my C41. It hasContinue reading “Kodak E100 goes Winterborne”

I mostly shot Ilford Pan-F, one roll of 35mm in my EOS 30, two rolls of 120 inContinue reading “Pilford on Ilford”
St Mary’s, Puddletown
A while back a reader (Ed) was kind enough to point me towards a few churches in my part of the world, that are of particular note. A couple of these I knew, but St Mary the Virgin, in Puddletown was not one of them. I set off with some (movie) FP4 and my NikonContinue reading “St Mary’s, Puddletown”

It begins at the Tank museum in Bovington Dorset, where he worked for a time asContinue reading “Aircraftsman Ross-a walk”
